This season, the Bundesliga has entered the final sprint, and the promotion battle is intensifying.
In a key battle in the early morning of May 12, Holstein Kiel hosted Fortuna Dusseldorf, and the two sides drew 1-1.
But that was enough for Holstein Kiel, who made a historic breakthrough by securing qualification for the Bundesliga ahead of schedule.
The Holstein Kiel team consists of a story full of legends.
After 124 years of rise and fall since its founding in 1900, the team was once a powerhouse in German football, but it did little in the latter part of the last century.
In particular, when the Bundesliga was officially established in 1963, Kirholstein missed out on qualifying for the tournament and has been silent in the Bundesliga for a long time since then.
But now, they have finally fulfilled their dream and become the 57th team in the history of the Bundesliga.
This upgrade is the end of a long wait for the team and the fans alike.
After 61 years of waiting, the night finally came to an end, and the tens of thousands of fans in the stadium were as excited as the team's history.
The success of Holsteinkiel, in contrast, underlines the loss of the Hamburg club.
Known as the king of the North North, Hamburg was once one of the most eye-catching promotion favourites in the Bundesliga.
However, the former giants have fallen into a series of setbacks in recent years, which has led to their failure to qualify for the Bundesliga again this season, which has become a pain in the hearts of many fans.
I don't know if fans who like Holstein Kiel know that the emblem of Holstein Kiel Club has hardly changed much since it was established in 1921.
The basic structure is maintained, including the Kiel city coat of arms, colours and fonts.
This stable emblem, carrying the history and traditions of the club, has become an iconic symbol of the team.
In the fan circle, the stability of the club's emblem has also caused some discussion and emotion.
One fan wrote on social media: "Holsteinkiel's emblem has always been the most iconic symbol in my heart, it is not only a logo, but also a kind of bearing on the history of the club.
His words were recognized and retweeted by other fans, and some said: Yes, every time I see this emblem, it reminds me of the glorious history and great achievements of the club.
Another fan analysed the design of the emblem: Holstein Kiel's emblem is based on the Kiel city coat of arms, which reflects the club's strong ties to the city in which it is located, as well as the local character.
His comments were echoed by other fans, with some commenting that it is true that the design is not only recognizable, but also reinforces the team's sense of belonging and identity.
In the fan base, some fans began to discuss the history of the emblem.
One fan wrote: "When I was researching the history of Holsteinkier, I found that there was a small change in the emblem between 1917 and 1921, albeit only slightly, but it reflected the development and changes of the club at that time.
His words aroused the interest of other fans, and everyone said: It turns out that there is such a change in the emblem, and it is really new information.
On the club's official social media accounts, there are also fans who express their love and support for the emblem.
One fan left a message in the comment section: Holsteinkiel's emblem is simple and classic, giving people an intimate feeling.
Hopefully, the club can continue this tradition and make our logo always stand for glory and tenacity! This remark was officially replied and praised, and the club also said that it would continue to maintain the stability and tradition of the emblem.
On social media, netizens talked about the loss of the burger.
A fan wrote on Weibo: Hamburg's performance in recent years has been really disappointing, and it has failed to win the championship for 6 consecutive seasons, which is simply heartbreaking! His words were liked and forwarded by many netizens, who expressed their worries and regrets about Hamburg.
Another fan commented: "The fate of Hamburg as a team with a long history is truly suffocating.
I hope they can return to the Bundesliga as soon as possible and regain their former glory! These words expressed the hearts of the majority of fans, and they all had deep expectations and hopes for this former giant.
In the hearts of the fans, the Hamburg club carries so many emotions and memories.
A veteran fan gave a long speech to the fan base, and he recalled: I remember how powerful Hamburg was back then, and during that time, we were all in such a strong mood.
But now it's heart-wrenching to watch the team's back-to-back defeats.
His words resonated with other fans, who expressed nostalgia for Hamburg's past glory and concern for the future.
Some netizens began to speculate and analyze the future of the hamburger.
A netizen who claims to be a football analyst took to the forum to express his opinion: Hamburg FC has had some problems in the management in recent years, which has directly affected the team's performance.
In order to return to the Bundesliga, in addition to the quality of the players, the stability and strategic planning of the management are also crucial.
His analysis was echoed by other netizens, who expressed concern about the future of Hamburg's management and the team.
Hamburg's defeat was no accident, especially in the following seasons after relegation, when they lost back-to-back promotion play-offs and are now likely to finish fourth.
This back-to-back setback is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the team and fans.
In the fan circle, netizens have expressed their opinions and feelings about Hamburg's consecutive losses.
A netizen who calls himself a Hamburg fan took to social media to express his feelings: every year he hopes to watch the promotion play-offs, but every year he ends in disappointment.
This kind of continuous setbacks is really chilling.
His words resonated with other fans, and some said: yes, every time I think this time will be different, the result is still the same, which is extremely disappointing.
Another netizen analyzed from the team's point of view: after Hamburg's relegation, the adjustment of the management and the transfer policy of the players were not in place.
To gain a foothold in the Bundesliga, it is necessary to have a solid squad and strong leadership.
His comments were echoed by some netizens, with some saying: Indeed, the team's management needs to make changes, and it is not always possible to rely on luck and the individual abilities of the players.
In the fan forum, some fans started discussing the future of the team.
A netizen wrote: The current situation in Hamburg is indeed not optimistic, but we can't give up hope.
As long as the team can stay together, I believe there will always be a day when things get better.
His words were supported by other fans, who said: Yes, we must not lose confidence that Hamburg will usher in a new dawn.
Whether it's criticism of the team or hopes for the future, the Hamburg fans are expressing their emotions and attitudes.
Streak of defeats is certainly frustrating, but it is in the midst of such a predicament that real support and loyalty can be seen.
Hopefully, in the coming games, Hamburg will be able to bounce back and return to the Bundesliga and rekindle the enthusiasm and confidence of the fans in the team.
